        PhaseChaitin::stretch_base_pointer_live_ranges stretches the base pointers for live ranges and in some cases may have to construct a NULL base in find_base_for_derived. It constructs an Ideal NULL instead of a mach one and if the Ideal NULL is ever used in Phi with real machine values we will die during register allocation. It's very hard to reproduce in practice though the changes for 6552204 causes it to occur with Eclipse in some cases.
